Former Public Relations Director for the UFC Jen Wenk along with her firm StarPR have signed on to represent the fighters from Authentic Sports Management including Jon Bones Jones, Rashad Evans and Carlos Condit.
Wenk worked with the UFC for the past six years in her role as lead PR director, handling most major interview requests and set ups for the athletes as well as UFC president Dana White. The reason for her exit from the UFC is unknown, but she has now started her own PR firm and will continue to work in the MMA world.
I am honored to have worked for the UFC and with owners and visionaries Lorenzo J. Fertitta and Dana White for the last six years, said Wenk. I only hope to continue my good public relations work in representing this dynamic new management company and many of the organization’s top fighters, including the new UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Bones Jones, former UFC champion Rashad Evans and more.
